Energy. Happiness.
Day 43 – 13:45 – Temple 86
I broke the first golden rule of the walking henro today: start early, walk hard, get a good few miles under your belt then enjoy an easier afternoon.
I started late, got lost and then met all sorts of interesting people along the way, leaving a tough afternoon.
At temple 87, I was greeted by an old couple. After a short chat, the lady, who did most of the talking, gave me a large citrus fruit from their garden. I asked if they hadn’t intended to eat it. She said that they had plenty more back home …
As I was walking down the hill, a little white truck pulled up and stopped. It was the old couple again. He looked at me and said, in perfectly enunciated English, “Energy. Happiness,” smiled, waved and sped off.
